Switzerland and Austria UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Neither Switzerland nor Austria can boast a very impressive record at the European Championships. Yet, both nations have shown promising signs in recent editions.
Switzerland is a nation that has never progressed beyond the quarter-finals at the UEFA European Championships. Their first appearance was at Euro 96 and Euro 2016 marked Switzerland’s first appearance in the knockout stages.
At Euro 2020, Switzerland achieved their best performance, reaching the quarter-finals after a remarkable comeback victory against World Cup holders France in the round of 16. Their dreams of glory ended at the quarter-final stage, suffering a penalty shoot-out defeat to Spain.
Austria participated at the European Championships for the first time at Euro 2008 on home soil. They have since become a familiar face in the competition, qualifying for Euro 2016, Euro 2020, and Euro 2024.
Like Switzerland, Austria’s best European Championship performance came at Euro 2020. They advanced to the knockout stages for the first time in their history, where they were narrowly defeated 2-1 by eventual winners Italy in the round of 16.
Switzerland vs Austria Head to Head
Switzerland and Austria have never previously met in the UEFA European Championships. However, there was once a famous meeting between these two nations at the FIFA World Cup, played at a sweltering 40°C.
In the 1954 World Cup, the Swiss national team were beaten 7-5 by Austria in a thrilling quarter-final encounter. The match still holds the record for most goals scored in a World Cup fixture.
